The Last Book on the Shelf

Well, you’ve seen this once before

Your eyes don’t fail yourself

You’ve seen this once before

Your eyes don’t fail yourself

Seen it all go down before

It’s in the last book on the shelf

Well, they’re coming for your town

You hear that marching sound

Yes, they’re coming for your town

You hear that marching sound

They want your spirit broken

They want that last book to be unbound

Well, they’re coming for you teachers

No more pencils, no more books

Yes, they’re coming for you teachers

No more pencils, no more books

They see something and they don’t like it

You know that last book is gonna cook

They’ll build a throne upon your back

Zero sum game they play

They’ll build a throne upon your back

Zero sum game they play

They wanna see it raining ash

They want that last book up in flames

It smells like Albert Einstein, Hemingway and Hellen Keller

Yes, it smells like Albert Einstein, Hemingway and Hellen Keller

Like burning Beatle records

It’s the last book burning red and yellow

Well, you’ve seen this once before

Your eyes don’t fail yourself

Yes, you’ve seen this once before

Your eyes don’t fail yourself

Seen it all go down before

It’s in the last book on the shelf
